about

This love-sick lament/R&B power ballad features Sandra - this time singing actual words. This tune means a lot to me - it hits me in the gut and makes me appreciate life even more. I hope you like it too.

lyrics

When I think of you
I just lay down and cry
Knowing I’ll never see you again

Never feel your skin on mine
Never see your eyes shine
Never hear you say my name again

You said you’d never leave
So how am I supposed to live without you?

When I think of your smile
I have to stop for a while, knowing
I’ll never see it again

Never hold your hand in mine
Never kiss your lips divine
Oh, I don’t really understand

You said you’d never leave
But now I have to go on without you

I can feel you right here, right now
As if you held me in your arms
I can feel your touch, your presence
Hold me keep me warm

I can glimpse you in the rainbows
And in the flowers and the rain
But it’s not enough, I need you
Standing here beside me

I can feel you right here, right now
As if you held me in your arms
I can feel your touch, your presence
Hold me keep me warm

I can glimpse you in the rainbows
And in the flowers and the rain
But it’s not enough, I need you
Standing here beside me
